Great attitude, can tell he’s a team player - you don’t have to be the greatest skilled to be respected and admired. Definitely does a good job and I think he’s worth a contract.

I'd extend Smith's contract for a year if that's what you mean but I wouldn't be selecting him for that year if he didn't step up from his current level.

Very good signing for me and will always give you a 7/10 performance.
With Donaldson I was thinking if he could spare Dwyer at acting half instead of Smith.
He can certainly tackle and has a decent pass on him too.
Without doubt he deserves another year even with our youngsters coming through.

Smith probably needs time to work out what kind of player he is and then work his arris off to get there. If he wants to be a ball handling loose forward he needs to make sure he's at the right club as well.

For me retaining Donaldson would be mainly to show that hard work gets rewarded, which is not a bad message for the squad.

Personally I’m not sure if Leeds are blessed with a squad of committed trainers, looking at the condition of a few past and present.

Donaldson is a great role model in this regard and I’d rather the youngsters coming through has his example to follow. This game isn’t all about natural talent and the good life.

If we were to sign Maloney he is also not renowned for training hard.

We've got more than our fair share of tubby-looking players that's for sure.
